Wouldn't it balance henchmen if...

...They perma-died like all other trained units? So they level like champions, but die like trained units. 

There's be a risk/reward profile in investing in henchmen that would make them less OP, I'd guess. You can still create stacks of ridiculous henchmen  but you'll need to make sure they live - otherwise all that time and effort is gone.

I'm guessing this was suggested already, but makes sense to me.

What about the AI?  It's hard to get an AI to keep units alive.  If henchmen were mortal, it might be better for AI players not to use them.

Good point. The AI would need them to die like champions...and that would make things complicated.
